NOTE: Ichiro does not make the cut on this list, indicating that again this year we differ with the conventional wisdom in the fantasy baseball industry. Inasmuch as we greatly value balance across different categories, the hit that you take in home runs and RBIs is not worth the advantage you pick up in batting average, stolen bases and runs when it comes to investing a high draft pick or auction price in him.
